Can the YZV replace my furnace and AC entirely?

A heat pump like the YZV can serve as a home's primary heating and cooling system, or it can run as part of a dual-fuel setup alongside an existing furnace for backup on the coldest days. Which approach makes sense depends on your home's insulation, ductwork and how cold your specific location gets in a typical winter — we'll walk through both options during your assessment.

How is heating efficiency measured on a heat pump?

HSPF2 measures heating efficiency the way SEER2 measures cooling efficiency — higher is better. The YZV is rated at 9.0 HSPF2, a solid figure for a variable-capacity heat pump, though real-world heating performance also depends heavily on your local winter temperatures and how the system is sized.

Does the YZV qualify for a rebate?

Heat pumps are the equipment category eligible under Ontario's current electrification rebate programs. Program rules and dollar amounts change, so we confirm current eligibility with you directly rather than quote a fixed figure that might be outdated.

What size YZV do I need?

It's available from 2 to 5 tons. Sizing a heat pump correctly matters even more than sizing an AC, since an undersized unit struggles on cold days and an oversized one short-cycles — we run a full load calculation before recommending a size.

What warranty does the YZV carry?

York backs the compressor with a lifetime limited warranty and parts with a 10-year limited warranty once the system is registered after installation, which we take care of for you.
